Keith Urbanis counting his marriage toNicole Kidmanas one of his top accomplishments.
During an appearance on Monday’sLiving & Learning with Reba McEntire, the four-time Grammy winner, 54, was asked what he considers to be his “biggest achievement.”
“There’s a lot of things. Marrying the right person, massive,” Urban shared, adding, “Marrying for the right reasons, getting sober 15 years ago, a big turning point in my life.”
Up until then, he said that he “never had specific goals” and simply wanted to “live in Nashville, wanted to write songs and make some records and hope the radio plays them.”
“Some people come see us play our own music instead of covers that I’m playing,” he added. “That was it, that was the goal.”

“You’re not meant to know that!” Kidman joked.
“When did Keith Urban first sweep you off your feet? When did you know?” Fallon asked.
“He sat on the stoop of my New York apartment. I came out at 5 a.m. in the morning, and it was my birthday, and he had flowers,” she recalled. “And that was it. I was a goner.”

“She’s just the one. She’s the one that I was searching for my whole life, and everything not only changed but had to change in me if I was gonna go that road,” said Urban.
“It was like the ultimate fork in the road moment in my life,” Urban, who was struggling with his sobriety at the time, added, “and it was literally like you either get this right now or you are never, ever gonna get it right. This is your one shot.”
“It felt so obvious,” he shared. “I knew where I was going … It was everything I was looking for and then beyond. Just beyond.”
